The eleventh graders at Highland High School in Utah were given “suggestions” from the opposite sex as to how they should behave on a date. Some of the requests were to “be feminine and ladylike” for the women and “no gross noises” for the men.

Students were given an allowance of $5 for the date and encouraged to go in groups but not to “flirt with, text or check out” other people while on the date.

At the end of the date, the students were asked to write a summary of the activities and then have their date write their name on the bottom of the paper signifying that person involved did everything “suggested.”

According to a source with the Salt Lake Tribune, the assignment was part of a course, adult roles and financial literary class, required for high school graduation under state law.

Highland Principal Chris Jenson said the handout was not meant to be followed exactly as written.

The handout was reportedly taken from a database of approved classroom materials maintained by the state but the teacher intended for the students to interpret the assignment however they wanted, whether it be a casual date or just a friendly hangout.

While the teacher intended the assignment to be more of a lesson about society and expectations, the students interpreted the paper as requiring an actual date.

"She's just mortified," Jenson said. "She wanted it to be a light-hearted lesson in social norms."

A spokesperson for the Utah Board of Education told the Salt Lake Tribune that they are working on removing the “date” assignment from the state’s curriculum.

The materials were part of the “Purposes of Dating” portion of the state curriculum, which also included a love quiz by radio personality Dr. Laura Schlessinger.

Since the complaints were made, however, the “Purposes of Dating” section was removed.

"There's no doubt that there is gender bias in the assignment," Jenson said. "There are some things that are relatively arcane in that assignment and that need to be updated or gotten rid of."

Parents posted on social media to criticize the assignment calling the girls’ suggestions misogynistic.

One parent in specific, Jenn Oxborrow, posted on Facebook and said she was encouraged by the school and school board's response.

She also mentioned, though, that the assignment pointed to a "hetero-normative" and gender-biased tone in the class.

But she added that the assignment was indicative of a pervasive "hetero-normative" and gender-biased to the in the Adult Roles and Financial Literacy class.
